Nokia C5-03 review: Camera

The camera in the Nokia C5-03 is functional and packs in a 5MP sensor (which beats the 3.15MP on the Samsung Monte, but then again can't compete with the 8MP provided by the HTC 7 Mozart).

Zoomed in pictures are blurred, non-zoomed pictures are rather pixelated, but this isn't billed as a macro shot phone. Also, inexplicably, gone is the LED flash inbuilt into the previous model. The shot quality therefore is middling and you'd perhaps expect a little more from a phone costing close to £200.

Sadly there's no built-in camera shortcut button, which may hinder those quick-snap Twitpics, but once you're into the camera mode, there's a decent amount to play with pre-shot, including ISO, white balance and exposure, and a chance to make up for the lack of Instagram by engaging the sepia tones.

For those who don't want to mess around with ISO or white balance, there are pre-installed modes, including night, portrait and sports.
